Don’t lose - Especially not to yourself

Call me Nilo | he/him | Brazilian animation graduate | 23 yrs old | my stuff is under #my art and #my posts but if you really wanna see my art, join my disc lmao

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

In case you're curious here's what I mean.

Renaissance(distinct lines, stability and the individual man):

Baroque (bold, chaotic, dramatic):

Romantic(romanticize the simple hard working life):

Do you see the difference?

this post has re-wired my brain in the best way

"Rationalism" is up there with "Objectivism" in terms of "definitionally funny things to call your own belief system".

"Yeah man I've been doing some thinking and philosophy and I've come up with a framework called Being Right"

Heeeeey so about that new anniversary art...

...they each have an equivalent to their prison uniform collars on.

Mikoto's has a little pendant, which could just be fashion but also looks a big like a dog's tag.

It's a bit hard to see on Shidou because it's over his clothes and both his shirt and the collar is black but it is there (zoomed image for clarity).

Drop... Tear Drop? Vampire? Song reference?

Mahiru's is composed of two chokers, perhaps a reference to how she only feels complete alongside someone else.

Kotoko's has a tag on it that looks very similar to the Milgram identity tags. She truly has intertwined herself with that system, believing herself to be an extension of its "justice".

Kazui's, at first glance, appears to be similar to Mahiru and composed of two individual segments, but upon closer inspection appears to be a single loop that's wrapped around his neck twice.

Fuuta... is wearing a belt.

Amane, strangely enough, doesn't appear to have a choker in any of her sprites. The equivalent band runs along the oversized collar of her shirt, so it doesn't sit directly on her neck with the same ominous energy that everyone else has.

Despite this, she is matching everyone else in the anni art, with a ribbon tied into a neat bow.

Muu's is fancy, giving impressions of aristocracy and wealth.

Haruka's has a pendant on it, reminiscent of the necklace he stole from his mother.

Es has never had a choker like this; their uniform shirt has gotten looser with each trial, and the necklace of keys (while they wore it) never threatened to strangle them.

So it does strike me that their shirt in the anniversary art is so high and so tight. Almost as if it could be hiding a choker underneath.

🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

  • $5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️
  • Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.

Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

With all my love and gratitude,

Mosab and Family ❤️

Alien stage Swap AU

Mizi acts very comfortable around Sua and is overly affectionate and touchy. This leads Sua into thinking that Mizi reciprocates her feelings.

But she soon finds out that, that's not the case.

Not only does Sua feel jealous of Ivan she also takes her anger at Mizi on Ivan. She thinks that Ivan is doing the same as Mizi, simply stringing Till along, oblivious to his feelings. She feels a sense of comradery with Till and sometimes pities him.

not to be a killjoy but it's still crazy to me that it's considered mean to be like "maybe you should read / play / watch the source material before creating fanworks and diving into the fandom" bc every time i see somebody going "i havent played disco elysium or know anything about it tbh but uwu here's harry and kim kissing" idk maybe you should engage with it. maybe you should play the anti-capitalist surrealist game where you investigate the murder of a mercenary who led the gang rape of a foreign girl and process that for a bit? and then you can do cutesy mlm or whatever idc. but like at the absolute bare minimum you should understand what the source material involves otherwise we get the phenomenon of people joining a dragon age server and wanting content warnings for like, mage racism. like it's fine to ship and transform the genre into whatever but if you arent comfortable with discussions of the actual source content itself then maybe the fandom isnt for you and a different one is. peace and love.

you could never make me spend 80 dollars on a video game honestly

450 for a console is a price id be willing to put savings towards to get eventually in theory. but if the games are gonna be 80 dollars i just dont think its worth it. nintendos unparalleled levels of greed on display have turned me off beyond belief. pay money to play enhanced versions of games you already own on the new console. pay 70 for a digital game and 10 dollars more for physical. pay 80 for this digital game code so you can download the game. spend money on the tech demo. like be so fr right now

so a few days ago i tried out the grid method on project sekai's custom profile maker and guess what? it works wonders 😤

for the shapes, however... you just gotta go "fuck it, we ball" i guess.

splatoon fans are like “you GOTTA listen to ‘freshwater freekin it’ that one is straight fire” and link you to a song composed of synthesized cat meows, first graders playing recorders, and vine booms. and then by the end you’re absolutely furious because they’re right

splatoon fans in the notes are behaving how you might expect

Its real now thanks op

i cannot BELIEVE
